The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A brief, introspective walk through a lonely forest, with a mournful tone and a sense of heartfelt personal creation.

What players say

Players praise the art style and atmosphere, calling it both cozy and eerie. The story is heartfelt and lingers, but the game is very short at around one hour. Players find the hidden secrets satisfying to discover and hope for a sequel.
